Craft Beer and Fantasy Football nerds, shall we try this again? This is the second iteration of the ISO: Beer League FT: Bolt Cutler Beer Trading Fantasy Football league, where the winners (and loser) receive boxes of local craft beer in the mail at the end of the season. We had a good mix of folks from across the country last year, and some really nice boxes put together by all. Post in this thread if you're interested in participating again this year in the league. Last year's participants: Cervixalot - In Retamnav - In Swickles Catfish Noodlin - In Quantrill Avenged - In dphi - In Zam - In Broom - In umop apisdn Mikey Purp Trouzorz Congrats again to last year's winners! umop apisdn - 6 boxes (1st place) Mikey Purp - 4 boxes (2nd place + highest season point total) Retemnav - 1 box (3rd place) Catfish Noodlin - 1 box (Loser's bracket winner) Quarterroys fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Aug 1, 2015 |

I feel morally obligated to express interest in this league. What are the scoring and roster requirements?

HatfulOfHollow posted:I want to play. Also fix your link in the beer thread. Link should be fixed, good catch. I want to give everyone who played last year the chance to sign up again, but I'm also open to expanding to more teams this year if there's enough interest (seems like there is!). We did a pretty basic format last year 16 roster spots, QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/TE/FLX/DST/K with .5PPR, but are't married to that setup.

My body is ready for mediocrity again. I'll continue my strategy of drafting a couple great players, and just sitting on them, making GBS threads up the leaderboards.

So there's at least 7 people from last year's league in, and I want to give the rest of last year's crew a chance to re-up this year. I sent a league email out, and will update in a couple of days once everyone has had a chance to RSVP. We can either fill up any empty spots and expand our roster to up to 16 teams to get as many people involved as possible, or fill up a second league if there's enough interest: Here's the current list of interested participants (13): Last year's participants: Cervixalot Catfish Noodlin dphi Avenged Retamnav Zam broom New Participants: Beer Jota HatfulofHollow railroad terror Wolfy Prophecy120

So, last year draft order was decided based on beer we were drinking during the draft? Shall we keep it the same?

Hi Guys - just got back from a week of work travel, so sorry for the delay in reply. I cross-posted the initial proposal to the GWS craft beer thread and the general fantasy thread, and emailed all of last year's league members with a request to login and express interest. I gave everybody plenty of time to reply, and we have a number of returning league members from last year and a batch of newcomers who expressed interest. Here is the full list: Cervixalot Retamnav Catfish Noodlin Avenged dphi Zam Broom Beer4theBeerGod Jota HatfullofHollow railroad terror Wolfy Prophecy120 Baldrash Based on this list, we should be able to accomodate everyone into a 14 team league - expanding from last year's 12 teams. There are three people I never heard back from who partook in last year's league, so the first two to get back to me in the next couple of days can still join and we can up it to 16 teams and call it a day. Before we lock down a date for the draft and finalize the ruleset, I wanted to see if anyone had any interest in stepping up to take on the commissioner's mantle (or just act as a co-commissioner) this year? It's not a ton of work to coordinate (mostly just helping to shape the ruleset by posting in the forums, find a draft date/format and arrange logistics for the box mailing at the end of the year), but I have had an extremely busy month at work (with more travel on the horizon), so I want to make sure I'm not holding us back in getting everything set up and coordinated. Let me know - if not, I will do what I can to get everything rolling so we can have a blast with the league this year. Everything from last year is already set in the ESPN league. If your name is on the above list and you didn't participate, please PM me your email account associated with an ESPN fantasy account. Those folks are: Beer4theBeerGod Jota HatfullofHollow railroad terror wolfy Prophecy120 Baldrash

I'm happy to help in any way I can, but last year was the first time I've ever used ESPN for Fantasy Football, and I've never been a commissioner. So basically I'm more enthusiastic than capable, which certainly describes my Fantasy Football experience in general.

Cervixalot, you have a PM. I've helped run a 12-team league with real-life friends and family for the last three years, so I wouldn't mind helping out here at all.

89 posted:How much is one box? One case? One 6 pack? i think last year we did $50 of regionally distributed and/or special release beers. this'll probably be a bit difficult to do if you don't have any experience trading beer, or at least are a horrible beer need..

No PMs here -- but my ESPN fantasy account is ready to go. email associated with it is xxx at gmail dot com -- cervixalot let me know when you've got it, so I can just edit this page. I'm pretty flexible on draft dates. Just keep me in the loop. railroad terror fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Aug 18, 2015 |

Sorry to see you go Beer, but understand the problem of league scope creep. Last year's league champ umop apisdu emailed me and wanted back in, so I added him to the list in beer's spot. We have two more teams waiting to get in, and so long as all are comfortable with a 16 team league (consider this - more beer boxes to go around), we should be good to go. I will invite everyone who has PM'd me info to the league, and if you haven't already, please PM me your ESPN email address. Participants: Cervixalot Catfish Noodlin dphi Avenged Retamnav Zam broom umop apisdu Jota HatfulofHollow railroad terror Wolfy Prophecy120 Baldrash cheese Edit: Sorry, I missed that 89 raised his hand before TubeStank. 89, still interested in joining? If not, the spot is TubeStank's. Let me know.

Invites sent to HatfulofHollow, railroad terror, Prophecy120 and Baldrash. Still need Wolfy's info, cheese's info, and whoever ends up being our last member out of 89 and TubeStank. The other key part of this last year, was that we stipulated that every member of the league had taken part in a BIF, beer trade or been vouched for by another goon who had. Do we want to look at a similar concept this year? I think either this, or a Toxx clause or something should help keep people honest. We had a goon join one of the BIFs who welched on his end of the deal which burned some folks.

I think Toxx is acceptable? It's getting closer to the start of the season and may be tough to arrange any kind of trade to vouch for new players that might not have traded with anyone on the forum.

I got the email and joined the league, however I have never done this sort of thing before or done beer trading. The idea sounds really interesting and I have zero desire to welch even if/when I lose horribly. I joined up because Houston has a really wide variety of craft brews that range for delicious to bizarre and it would be neat to share. That being said, I totally understand if you have someone from the beer thread that wants to participate. As the newbie I wouldn't have my feelings hurt if a regular needs the spot.

I'm fine with a Toxx, given that I've never done a beer trade on the forums. Magic cards, yes, but never beer.
